Re: 1/20 scale Lotus 63 resin kit

I also purchased a kit last year and as Sean says it's a lot of work. It's a hand-made kit and is more likely to be classified as "old school"... (please don't misunderstand this - there are better and worse kits here too). I have also started reworking the kit and will also recreate some...

Do you have any link for Smirkoff's FW11 3d part ?
I also made a suspension support part like this. I also follow the example of Smirkoff :D
